I decide move all my stuff to 5.3 as see a lot is changing. And revive a 2010 mac mini with Snow Leopard

So I understand you tested Squeak5.3a on MacOS Snow Leopard on a 2010 machine. And it did not work.
But http://ftp.squeak.org/5.0/Squeak-5.0-All-in-One.zip works and moving the relevant part to Applications , this VM launchs Squeak5.3alpha-18222-32bit .image
I understand that if you take the VM from a Squeak5.0-All-InOne 32 bit release and use a Squeak5.3alpha-18222 image it runs fine.
Does this mean that the VMs includes in the releases 5.1 and 5.2 do not work on MacOS Snow leopard with a Squeak5.3alpha-18222-32bit?
Kind regards Hannes
P.S. Please note that the current Squeak5.3 alpha image has the build number 18879. For testing it is good to go for the latests version.
P.S. 2 I changed the subject line [Bug] --> [Test]. It is about testing which old OS is supported or no longer supported. The other issue is finding a workaround for your problem. For example it might be a solution for you to run the very recent Squeak5.3a image with a Squeak 5.0VM. But maybe the fixes needed are not many.
